Hi Folks:

I'm pleased to announce two speaking events in Virginia by Francois Mey. The event was just posted on the ICPS Events link. The talk is titled "Exploring for rare plants (including insectivorous ones) in IndoChina, and the challenges of the politics" and is being hosted by The University of Mary Washington and Meadowview Biological Research Station.

The talk will be held:

Thursday, April 21, 6:15—7:15 P.M. at Lee Hall of the University of Mary Washington, Fredericksburg, VA (partially supported by CARC and the Dept. of Biological Science).

and

Saturday, April 23, 12:00 noon. Meadowview Biological Research Station, 8390 Fredericksburg Tnpk., Woodford, VA 22580 (RSVP required by 4/17).

We would like to turn the Saturday talk into a Nepenthes symposium. Let us know if you would like to speak or bring some plants for show. More information about the talk and Francois can be found on our web site at www.pitcherplant.org. I hope you can make one of the events.

Phil, I wish I could attend, but I'll be off on the trip to Mt. Roraima with Stewart during that time.

Do you guys still have your summer internship available?

Best,

Phil

I've ended up not being able to attend

Hopefully Francois can come to the West Coast some time... I'd book a room at Balboa Park for you guys if you'd give a talk

Hi Folks:

I picked up Francois at the airport last night and we are very excited about his talks on Thursday at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, VA and at Meadowview on Saturday. Please let me know if you can attend either talk. The talk at Meadowview on Saturday will include a webinar, see http://www.pitcherplant.org/Newsletters/....tml#livestream, where you can ask questions electronically and see the lecture.

Francois has done some amazing research in Indo-China and you will see some remarkable habitat for Nepenthes and other rare plants.

Sincerely,

Phil Sheridan, Ph.D.
